Gazing out the window at the ever-changing landscapes whipping past is one of the great pleasures of train travel. All seasons have their appeal, but watching autumn’s foliage colour transformation is particularly mesmerising. Overtourism, scorching temperatures and hefty tourist taxes have also made travelling in the shoulder season even more attractive. So, if you’re looking to take advantage of the calm that comes with the colder months, why not consider some leaf-peeping aboard a train? Europe’s best train journeys for autumn Japanese rail operator JR Pass analysed popular routes from across Europe using online ratings, Instagram hashtags, search insights, and…
When Commission President Ursula von der Leyen gives her big State of the European Union speech on Wednesday, the topic of migration is likely to feature heavily. On today’s show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Nick Vinocur discuss the EU executive’s proposed new tool to counter “weaponized” migration — like we saw in Ceuta this summer. Plus, what do the results of the Swedish general election mean for the country’s migration policy? Next, a group of European leaders and senior EU officials are in Finland today, part of Brussels’ broader push to deepen its engagement in the Arctic as the region assumes…
Germany’s Alexander Zverev on Sunday conquered the US Open, defeating American Ben Shelton in four sets at the Arthur Ashe Stadium to claim his first US Open title and the second Grand Slam trophy of his career. Six years after letting a two-set lead slip against Dominic Thiem in the 2020 final, the German top seed returned to New York and this time finished the job beating Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 on Sunday. Zverev knew what he was up against, playing a US Open final in a stadium full of people desperate to at last see another American…
A cassette with 18 songs in which Camarón, Lucho Gatica and, very significantly, the Catalan rumba of “La lista de la compra” by La Cabra Mecánica and María Jiménez all rub shoulders. A personal collage, with a distinctly Lynchian feel, intentionally devoid of any explicit meaning. And a letter written with a Bic biro, with which Isabel Coixet underlines the handmade nature of her gesture and, in passing, pays tribute to torrijas, clay water jugs and open-air summer cinemas. The filmmaker (Sant Adrià del Besós, 1960) nostalgically champions, in short, a present that is on the verge of extinction, which…
Mitten im schwersten Sturm seiner bisherigen Kanzlerschaft sucht Friedrich Merz Abstand am Polarkreis. Während der Kanzler beim Arktis-Gipfel in Finnland über die EU-Strategie in der dortigen Region spricht, wackelt zu Hause die Koalition. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen zeigt einen sichtlich angeschlagenen Regierungschef, dessen Rückhalt dramatisch schwindet. Rixa Fürsen und Hans von der Burchard sprechen über einen Kanzler, der europäisch Solidarität und Stärke zeigen will, den dabei aber die Ereignisse in Berlin bis nach Lappland verfolgen. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht dann der CSU-Landesgruppenchef und Erste stellvertretende Unions-Fraktionschef Alexander Hoffmann. Rasmus Buchsteiner fragt ihn, wie groß der Rückhalt für Merz ist und…
Published on 14/09/2026 – 5:06 GMT+2 Trump said during the trophy ceremony for the Irish Open that he had been asked about the issue by everyone, including some of the golfers. “Everybody’s been bugging me” to do it, the Republican president said. “And I said, ‘On behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off'” Irish whiskey. Irish whiskey currently faces the 15% tariff imposed by Trump on imports from the European Union. Trump announced in May that he was lifting certain tariffs on UK whiskey, which includes Scotch and spirits made in Northern…
Published on 14/09/2026 – 5:01 GMT+2 Chinese AI companies produce world-leading open-source AI models – whose underlying code is accessible for adaptation by users – while US developers have favoured closed-door approaches. The proposal, part of the Chinese leader’s “initiative on open-source and inclusive AI”, included a promise to “support cooperation in the development and application of large language models”, according to a readout of Xi’s speech from state broadcaster CCTV. The initiative would also include establishing “specialised research and training on AI” for BRICS countries, with the goal of “building an open ecosystem for AI”, Xi said. The BRICS…
Cela passe par la formation massive d’une nouvelle génération d’ingénieurs capables de penser simultanément physique du réseau, données, marchés de l’électricité et enjeux sociétaux. Cela passe aussi par un transfert de connaissances accéléré entre les systèmes électriques matures et ceux en développement, pour éviter que certains pays ne reproduisent des architectures obsolètes ou ne restent dépendants de technologies importées sans maîtrise locale. Il n’y a pas de plan B, car il n’y a pas de planète B. Le CIGRE, organisation indépendante à but non lucratif réunissant 25 000 membres dans 140 pays, contribue relever ce défi. Grâce à ses groupes…
